In March of 2007, the Appaloosa Horse Club Board of Directors held their spring meeting. On the agenda was a proposal to improve the club rules regarding Penalties and Sanctions for drugged horses entered in ApHC Breed Shows. Unbeknown to its members, this proposal passed and will become an official rule in January 2008. This will allow drugs such as Acetazolimide and Lasix. The Appaloosa-Just Say No Group, made up of family pet owners, breeders, show persons, and advocate for the Appaloosas future, are asking the BODs to revisit this proposal with consideration for the ApHC members and those that care deeply about the Appaloosa. Please take a moment to read the information provided and do not hesitate to contact The Appaloosa-Just Say NO Group @ http://www.formulaonefarms.com/drugpage.htm Please sign our petition with your first and last name, city and state, and if you are a member of the ApHC or non member Advocate. Thank you from the future Appaloosas! http://www.appaloosa.com/association/bod.htm List of BOD and contact info http://appaloosablogspot.com/2007/08/ Official ApHC CEO, Steve Taylors Appaloosablogspot http://www.appaloosa.com/pdfs/SummaryofMotions07_09_06.pdf Motion # 16-07-06 Ruling pg 26

I really thought this might just float around in the void but seeing how many people actually care about protecting these horses is just incredible. My inbox has been absolutely exploding with messages from folks who feel exactly how I felt when I first heard about the rule change. Honestly it is a bit overwhelming and I never expected this much energy to build up so fast.

What about the horses health? Seems like nobody at the top cares about the animal anymore just the ribbons.

This is just sad. We need to keep these horses clean and natural. Why would they ever think this is a good idea?

My family has been in Appaloosas for 20 years and I am sickened by this rule change. Keep them pure.

RIDICULOUS. Lasix has no place in the show ring. The board needs to open their eyes and listen to the people who actually own these horses.

Drugs are drugs. Stop trying to make excuses for performance enhancers in breed shows. It brings the whole sport down.
